Care to name the 4?

The guy is holding his hat on the fact that the contract is not signed. Crennel has told the Chiefs he's coming there. Now they are just hammering out the contract.

I have no problem with the Weis hire. Never claimed that I did. I don't think he's the perfect hire, but he's not the best, IMO. But the Crennel hire is troubling on three fronts.

#1) Belichick had his hand in really deep on those defense, planning and scheming
#2) Crennel's Ds in Cleveland were miserable
#3) Yet another guy from the Pats.

The reason that free agency is largely a bust, is because players often don't fit the new team.

So, by being more selective about the players, and where they players come from.... they are protecting the chemistry of the team.

This was especially important in the first year of the program. As the team progresses, I would look for them to bring in more players from other systems.

But, team chemistry is very important, especially on a losing team.

The key is to having guys buy in. So, it figures that would be an easier sell to guys who have already bought in to similar systems.

Bad players will buy in anywhere, because they if they don't they can't get a job anywhere else.

Unfortunately, they still lose games for you.

I think it's fairly obvious.

No, please.

Could you name the 4 for me?

football is the least of the discussions
I'm right is all that seems to matter
zzzzzzzz

Don't play dumb.

I'm not playing dumb, but I sure am curious as to why you're avoiding a simple question.

The four, please.

#1) Any new upcoming coach would have had their former boss (DC) really involved in the planning and scheming.

#2) He wasn't the DC there, he was the HC. Some guys are just better coordinators. Oh, and is Phil Savage a guy that you think is a great GM? What did the Browns do prior to Crennel or this last year? Were they markedly better?

#3) Dumb. Who freaking cares? It is a stupid argument.

Now, to be honest, Crennel isn't my favorite DC. I don't particularly like his style of defense. He and Belichick run a more passive defense than I prefer. I like more of an attack style defense.

But, I think a team can be successful either way.

Crennel is easily one of the most qualified candidates on the market, and I think bashing the move just because he is from the Patriots four years ago is moronic.

Does the fact that Haley's offenses in KC this year were awful make him any less attractive as a coordinator if (or when) he's canned?

I don't think they do.

I'm starting to think that Hamas is only happy when he has something to bitch about.

Good lord.

Yeah, those Pat, Dolpin and Card teams are filled with bad players that can't get a job anywhere else. I mean, what with two of them being playoff teams this year and the Phins having a winning season.

I see what you mean.

If you think it matters that you really haven't been in this thread, you're wrong.
